OMB reviews, independent budget reviews and internal NASA reviews all say that at the current funding rate, the system will not be ready for such a mission for a decade beyond 2025.

The emulator was key in allowing users to use older 68k apps on the new PowerPC chips, until the software houses released versions built for the PowerPC. A lot of companies (including Apple itself) hurt the platform by delaying their PowerPC update releases. The OS did have some issues; I'm not going to sugar coat it. Apple also took a few journeys down dark alleys with poorly designed hardware during the '90s. Of course the alternative at the time was Windows 3.1, which wasn't a utopian dream either.

No, the thing it caries from the ship, through the surf zone, over sand and onto hard ground that has the killing power are the U.S. Marines.

Not art.

If she's not college material, send her to trade school to learn a construction trade. Having a trade means she'll be employable. Some jobs are never going to go away -- there will always be construction jobs.

If she's college material I'd recommend two paths: lf she has a math or science bent, engineering. If STEM isn't her thing, as a first step send her to an accredited business school. Follow that with a good trade school. Having the business degree means she'll be able to operate at a higher level in the industry, handling the business with the background necessary to not screw it up.

Engineering and construction jobs will never go away. You have to keep up with new technologies, techniques and trends but you'll be able to find a job.

Teaching is a worthwhile pursuit but there are too many of us that know that teachers are poorly paid and constantly under attack. I can't, in good conscience, recommend that career to anyone who hasn't already expressed a strong interest.

I seem to be a slow mover. 5-8 years between job changes.

a few taps with a hammer, a little Bondo, some paint and everything will be just fine.

We don't need to print small one room huts in the U.S. We have more than enough old shipping containers lying around to fulfill this requirement.

Based on the number of concrete buildings that collapse in China due to earthquakes, I suspect it's not as durable as you think.

Replaced the 3-way bulb in a lamp with a Cree LED 3-way bulb. They think very highly of their product... and price it accordingly. If it doesn't exhibit any issues I'll start converting all the CFLs I bought 5 or 6 years ago to LEDs as they need to be replaced.

The light does work on 120V.

They've already announced that they're no longer going to build their own hardware. The color Nook HD and Nook HD+ series is going to be replaced by a re-branded Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.

How do you plan to handle delivery? An Earth sized chunk of carbon might require delicate handling as it is drop shipped on your home. BTW, a signature will be required.

I didn't miss the point. That was sarcasm. And, for what it's worth, the employer didn't see it that way -- they insisted I work to a project completion schedule and on-call schedule that required 80 hour work weeks. Either I got the work done or they wrote me up for missing deadlines. I would have left but I had no other job to leave to (there was a recession, remember). As soon as an opportunity presented itself, I was out of there.

what were we talking about? sorry tired. Hey, my 80 hour work-weeks are what kept me employed during the recession. They couldn't fire me -- I was doing too much work for next to no pay. Yeah, I made a few mistakes. But I fixed 'em. Sure, my salary history will work against me when I go apply for another job. At least I stayed employed in my field. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need some more coffee before I pass out at my desk.
